Look in
your office cleaning cabinet. How
many bottles of cleaners do you see?
How many chemicals does the
janitorial service company use
everyday? How many do you store and
use at home?
They look safe enough but, once
opened and used these seemingly
innocuous cleaners ooze invisible
and odorless gasses. This is also
known as “outgassing.” When these
toxic gases mix from the various
cleaner bottles, the effects are
exponentially more dangerous to you
your family and your staff.
Think about
the toxins you, your family and your
staff inhale each and every minute
of |
|
|
each and
every day. These effects can be
cumulative. As you, your family and
staff
breathe in more fumes, they will
slowly but surely make all of you
sicker and
sicker…with each and every breath.
We want to warn you of these
chemicals and their effects on your
health. We want to help you make
your office indoor
environment better. Below, we’ve
listed a
few common chemicals found in common
cleaning products. Please contact
CleanStart Janitorial Service, Inc.
today. You, your family and your
staff can enjoy a healthier and
more-toxic free tomorrow. |
